CHICAGO, ILL, Aug Is Theirs was fair
sized Gro d IN all pits to day on Change,
though the bulk OF speculative business seemed
inclined TO continue centering in corn. The
marhet for that cereal was rather unsettled
and irregular, ruling active at times and at
others quiet. Trading WAS of fair volume and
centered chiefly in the May option. Rains
ported in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois
tended to create an easier feeling, and prices
in the first hour of trading tended down, under
rather free realizing, but later ruled more
firm uncer less pressure to sell. The quantity
in store here decreased 322,520 bushels du ring
the Tast week, bringing tota' stocks in store
down to l,192,OOG bushels, and the visible cup
ply decreased 81 COO bushels. This, together
with tee Illinois agricultural report that late
rains had not done much good to the crop, had
tendency 10 steady the market. Market

soon began to dec inc and a reduction of &C
occurred at this pount. Decline was Ch cked
and market AGAIN showed strength, prices res
covering 7.G5sc. and CT, sed aboat isc lower
than Saturday. Visible supply showed de-
crease of 925,Ooo bushels, against
increase last year OF Las OoO

were inclined 10 sell and some Outside orders
OF same character were receives whLA de-
man de- from all sources were lImk ed ,kbuying
being credited chiefly TO shor:s. Receipts sf
hogs were light and prices higher, bat this feat
